( 1. 0 INTRODUCTION This addendum was prepared to assist the Federal Emergency Manegement Agency (FEMA) in evaluating the " Alert and Notification System" require-ments of 44 CFR 350. This report is part of an ongoing process by which FEMA evaluates and approves both state and local emergency plans and preparations to deal with a radiological emergency at Nebraska Public Power District's Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS).
There are sixteen planning standards identified in 44 CFR 350.5 which are to be used in evaluating, assessing, reviewing, and approving state emergency plans. Of these sixteen planning standards, three apply to alert and notification:
Section E, Notification Methods and Procedures Section F, Emergency Communications, and Section N, Exercises and Drills.
i Currently, the Nebraska Radiological Emergency Response Plan (NE RERP)
- and the Missouri Nuclear Accident Plan (MO NAP) for the CNS have received Conditional 44 CFR 350 Approval. This report represents a com-prehensive addendum to the previously approved sections of the NE RERP and M0 NAP. It is anticipated that once the information presented in this report has been reviewed and approved by FEMA, all the Planning Standards from NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP 1, Rev. I will have been satisfactor-ily addressed; and, therefore, Final 350 Approval will be issued.
This report has been structured to provide all of the necessary and pertinent information related to the three primary planning standards (E, F, and N) for alert and notification systems requested by FEMA in the " Standard Guide for the Evaluation of Alert and Notification Systems for Nuclear Power Plants," FEMA-43, dated September,1983. In addition, this addendum report utilizes the " Recommended Format for Submittals Describing Alert and Notification Systems," FEMA-43, Appendix 1.
1-1
. CNS 05/86 The CNS Prompt Alert and Notification System uses a combination of fixed sirens and tone activated radios for alert and notification of personnel in the CNS 10-mile EPZ. Special alerting of state parks and wild life areas is achieved through mobile sirens and P.A. systems.
It should be noted that one section in FEMA-43 is not applicable to this submittal. Section E.6.2.2 (Mobile Siren Vehicles) is not addressed since this notification method is not utilized as a primary means of notification in the Prompt Alert and Notification System (PANS) for the CNS.
b 1-2
o . .
, 05/86 I 2.5 Mobile Siren Vehicle (FEMA-43 Ref. E.6.2.2) (Not Applicable)
It should be noted that the use of Mobile Siren Vehicles (as described in FEMA-43, Section E.6.2.2) has not been employed as a primary element of the CNS Prompt Alert and Notification System. Therefore, this section of FEMA-43 is not applicable for this submittal.

CNS 03/85 2.6 Tone Activated Radios (FEMA-43 Ref. E.6.2.3) 2.6.1 Tone Activated Radio Coverage All areas of the EPZ except those populated areas covered by sirens are alerted by tone activated radios. The map presented in. Appendix C shows those areas of the Cooper Nuclear Station EPZ where tone activated radios are not distributed except upon request. (This map also presents the siren contours described in Section 2.4.1 of this document. ) The map is a composite of individual U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle maps with latitude and longitude indicators and reproduced to a scale of 1:31680.
2.6.2 Tone Activated Radio Description The - tone activated radios utilized in the CNS PANS are Redi-Alert emergency warning monitors. Each is housed in a durable case and designed for unattended attention. The radios operate on 110V A.C. with battery backup. The radios are permanently tuned to the appropriate EBS station (KFAB-AM [1110 kHz] for Nebraska residents cnd KFEQ-AM [680 kHz]
for Missouri residents). Each receiver is activated by the EBS Atten-tion Tone and broadcasts the subsequent message about the particular emergency.
2.6.3 Tone Activated Radio Location and Distribution The distribution of the over 700 tone activated radios in the CNS EPZ is based primarily on the siren coverage. The sirens are located in or near the various population centers. Due to the rural character of the EPZ (very low average population density of 17.9 persons per square mile) tone activated radios have been hand-distributed to those homes and businesses throughout the EPZ that are not adequately covered by ,
sirens. (Initial operating instructions have been given in both oral and written form.) Appendix G includes a register documenting the distribution of tone activated radios in the CNS EPZ.
I 2-16
( 2.6.4 Tone Activated Radio Testing and Maintenance Program Tone Activated Radio Testing Once per week the primary EBS stations (KFAB-1110 kHz and KFEQ-680 kHZ) test their EBS system which activates the tone activated ~ radios and proceeds with the message. Thus individuals with EBS tone activated radios will have their radios automatically tested once per week. A test button is provided on each radio to verify operability. In addi-tion, the tene activated radios have a battery test button and indicator light to check the battery backup power source.
Maintenance Should the EBS activated radio fail any of the above tests, malfunction, or need maintenance or repair, a telephone number is posted on the radio for the individual to call to initiate corrective actions. Notices to check batteries are issued quarterly through local newspaper and radio media. Appendix F contains the brochure issued with each unit which
(. describes the use of the unit and what to do in the unlikely event it should fail to operate.

2.7 Special Alerting (FEMA-43 Ref. E.6.2.4) .
I 2.7.1 Mobile Alert and Notification Network The special alerting components of the CNS Prompt Alert and Notification System are used for those areas of the CNS Emergency Planning Zone not covered by fixed sirens or tone alert radios. These areas consist of the . Indian Cave State Park in ' Nebraska and the Brickyard Hill State Wildlife Area in Missouri. Appendix C delineates those areas of the CNS Emergency Planning Zone which are to be covered by mobile routes.
Resources, manpower, and vehicles for the CNS PANS will be supplied from existing resources and will be supplemented by mutual aid agreements that are on record for the appropriate state, county, and local government emergency response organizations. Appendix H of this report presents maps of 'the. Mobile Alert and Notification Routes and the route activation procedures applicable for each park.
2.7.2 Alerting Method Rationale .
As indicated in Appendix 3 of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1 (Rev.1), it may be .
more cost effective in sparsely populated areas to use special alerting methods other than sirens. FEMA-43 also indicates that seasonal and diurnal population variations may also be a factor in selecting alternative means of notification. It is most cost effective for the States of Missouri and Nebraska to make optimum use of existing available resources. Therefore, the respective M0 NAP and NE RERP plans for special alerting of the Brickyard Hill State Wildlife Area and the
. Indian Cave State Park via Mobile Alert and Notification Routes include the use of onsite Department of Conservation and Park Ranger vehicles with sirens and public address systems. Route dispatching will be accomplished in Missouri by the Conservation Department and in Nebraska by the Nemaha County Sheriff.
)
l 2-18
'l The primary purpose of the Mobile Alert and Notification System is to direct the individuals in the parks indoors. The public will be alerted by the broadcasting of either a steady siren blast or a simple message over the mobile public address systems. LSigns are posted' at park entrances info'rming visitors what to do if they hear an alert signal.
This message will inform the~ park visitors of an incident, and will advise them to tune their radios to KFEQ-AM and KFAB-AM, in Missouri-and Nebraska respectively, for further instructions.
2.7.3 Participating Organizations The primary and backup responders for each area requiring mobile alert and notification are shown below.
Primary Backup Brickyard Hill Atchison County Atchison County Sheriff Conservation Agent Cox Aviation Other pilots (3) b Indian Cave Park Ranger Assistant Park Ranger It should be noted that in both park areas the Conservation Agent and Park Ranger are on the premises. They can commence notification as soon as they are notified. Additionally, the Cox Aviation aircraft used at Brickyard Hill' are located approximately 10 miles from the park. Also, another aircraf t is located 1 mile west of Weston, about 5 miles from the park. (The use of Cox Aviation aircraf t is documented in a Letter of Agreement with the SEMA.) An analysis of the equipment and routes is presented in Appendix H.
2.7.4 , Equipment Testing and Maintenance Program The CNS Prompt Alert and Notification System design basis requires that special alerting in both parks shall be by park vehicles, and also by aircraft in Brickyard Hill. Routine use of these vehicles, independent of their utilization as a part of the CNS Prompt Alert and Notification System, demonstrates those capabilities required for their performance as a part of the Alert and Notification System. Many tests are accom-plished through daily usage.
2-19
. CNS 06/86 '
Mechanical Tests -
Standard procedure for vehicle maintenance is usually based upon manu- -
facturer specifications. Most governmental departments and agencies have additional requirements for their vehicles and thus- schedule service on all vehicles to ensure optimum reliability. Additionally, aviation companies must perform regular maintenance to ensure the aircraft operability.
Electronic Tests Routine use of the radio communications attests to their reliability.
The siren and public address systems are tested at least monthly as a part of the monthly siren activation. This establishes that they are adequately tested and maintained.

At the exercise held October 16, 1986 at the Cooper Nuclear Station, tha following deficiency was cited for the Missouri portion of the -
operation: l l
"Neither the State nor Atchison County Plan provide for alert and notification of the transients within i the Brickyard Hill State Wildlife area. Plans must '
be revised to reflact the applicable provisions of NUREG-0654 and -[ FEMA] REP-10." g On June 16, 1986 the above cited plan revisions and' an amended 'ANS N dssign report for primary alerting were tested in a remedial exercise.
Tha objectives of the exercise were twofold: (a) to test the timeliness of the airborne siren alert methodology and the truck mounted route clart siren; (b) to determine the audibility of the siren mounted on th2 aircraft.
Four FINA evaluators were utilized: one was stationed at the Atchison County Sheriff's Office, one at the airfield at Tarkio, Missouri, one in the field at Brickyard Hill and one riding in the -truck for route clarting in Brickyard Hill.
At 11:15 AM the licensee- (CNS) notified the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency (SENA) of the simulated " Alert" status. CNS also notified the Atchison County Sheriff at 11:16. The Sheriff verified tha call and then at 11:17 notified Cox Aviation service to fly the "Altrt" route over Brickyard Hill. SEMA also called Cox Aviation at 11:17:30.
By 11:26 the sound system was installed en the aircraft. The plane was airborne at 11:29 The alerting was accomplished and the plane raturned to the field at 11:h7.
In the meantime, the Sheriff notified the Conservation Agent at Brickyard
] Hill at 11:19 He immediately began the rcute alerting and drove the Eppointed route, finishing at 11:hh.
j The field based evaluator determined that the siren sounded by the aircraft flying at 500 feet above the grcund was audible. Final I detsmination of adequacy is centingent upcn a technical review cf tha amended design report.
i While weather might be a constraining factor in getting the plane aloft, i
th2 truck mounted system affords a degree of redundancy. Weather j minimums at that field are: ceiling - h00 ft. and visibility - 1 mile. -
l L Bastd on the above observations, it can be concluded that both the prsviously stated exercise objectives were successfully demonstrated,
[ thus remedying the deficiency.
